So we set out on our journey - and what a journey it was! We'd succesfully barted down the price of our bus and boat ticket from 1100 baht each to 700 baht each (just under £15) even though we weren't entirely sure we could have got it lower, we were pleased we managed to save some pennies (well actually it was Candy's world famous bartering skills that had done it so not really 'we') We were picked up at 7.30am in the morning from our hotel and were on the bus ...

We left Koh Lanta in yet another wagon, except this one didn't seem like it was on it's last legs and the driver wasn't a little old maniac of a man. We got dropped off at the pier to catch the boat to Phi Phi Don. Although it was a reasonably sized boat, we still had to climb across three other boats to reach our one, and with a backpack and rucksack it was yet another 'experience'. Emma, who's not keen on water or boats (great for Island hopping!) stayed down...

We had to put on our waterproof macs but they didn't really keep us dry as we were already soaked! But we trudged to the pier (following a guy from the hotel who was pushing our bags in a trolley - so could have been worse, we could have been carrying our larg...

Where do we even start! Oh these past five nights have been eventful, traumatising and hilarious! It started with the palava it took to get here (that should have been a sign!). We first of all got hurled into a kind of tuk tuk, except this angry little old man didn't understand that carrying an 85 litre backpack on your back, and a large rucksack on your front, didn't allow for ease of jumping in and out of wagons, which is what it literally was! "Cattle g...

So, Krabi has been our first stop in Thailand, we've stayed here for 8 nights, and well, it rained pretty much everyday at one point or another. When the storms hit, the lightening bounces off the cliffs giving some amazing views... but that's the only good thing we can say about the weather. Apparently, before we came, it had been constant sunshine for a whole week, we must have brought the British weather with us. Over the time we spent here, we must have hear...
